It is a bit challenging initially, as you are learning to move in microgravity and also getting to know the station,&#8221; Shukla wrote.&#8221;This video was a few days into the mission when I finally had better control over my movements. What I wanted to do was to be just still &#8211; but clearly failed,&#8221; he added.&#8221;Any small disturbance can move your body in space, and it takes skill to be completely still. Kind of like our minds in this fast-moving world. Take some time to be still today. It is important to sometimes slow down to be fast. Apparently, being still is a challenge -with or without gravity,&#8221; he said.Shukla returned safely to Earth as SpaceX\u2019s Dragon capsule, Grace, splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, bringing the nearly three-week Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission to a close.During their mission aboard the ISS, the Ax-4 crew conducted over 60 experiments from 31 countries, including seven led by India\u2019s ISRO.Shukla\u2019s return marks a milestone for India\u2019s growing presence in commercial spaceflight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW DELHI: Days after returning from space, Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla posted a video of himself &#8220;floating&#8221; inside&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276852,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3844],"tags":[104510,1500,104509,10818,730,104508,10816,10817,11366,32212,70,19065,413,5685,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-276851","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-axiom-mission","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-floating-in-space","11":"tag-google-news","12":"tag-india","13":"tag-india-commercial-spaceflight","14":"tag-india-news","15":"tag-india-news-today","16":"tag-international-space-station","17":"tag-microgravity","18":"tag-science","19":"tag-shubhanshu-shukla","20":"tag-space","21":"tag-today-news","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114884471960777756","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276851"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276851\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
